"Is there a daycare/Montessori School childcare deduction? "
A Montessori school is considered to be a "private school" and generally, the cost of tuition for private school for elementary and secondary school students is not tax deductible.on your federal tax return
However, a portion of the private school tuition fees, if it relates to child care services, may qualify as child care costs, but you will need your receipt from the school specifying how much of the cost were attributable to chilc care. (Usually preschool or pre Kindergarten only, qualify)
Also worth considering, some states do offer families tax relief for K–12 private school expenses.
Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, , Minnesota, Ohio, South Carolina and Wisconsin offer private school choice programs, known as individual tax credits and deductions. Many taxpayers are able to claiim these and save anywhere from a $100 to $10,000, depending on where they live. So you may want to check with your individual State taxing authority to see if they offer any of these types of programs.
Please reach back out, if you have any additional questions or concerns.
